I don't take anything at face value either, such as the unsupported claims of conspiracy theorists.

Questions are great, answers from Google are not.

The only koolaid I drink is prepared by global expert scientists who have done a whole lot more research than I have. 

My reality is that the environment and human health are more complicated than this layperson totally understands and blaming a bogeyman is no way to improve things.

I ALWAYS eat clean. Growing up, my mom would have paddled me if I didn't wash my hands before dinner.

I only eat steak from cows who've had a bubble bath before getting knocked upside the head.

Bonus: I'm discussing facts. You're going after me personally. Not cool.

I just heard a class action lawsuit advertised on the radio out of station in fargo. Apparently Roundup has been linked to some non-hodkins (sp) cancers (cant remember which one?  Lymphoma).  They were clearly targeting farmers to be the group of plantiffs for the class action lawsuit.

Yay roundup

So why aren't we all upset that roundup is in our soil and water and food, poisoning us all?  It is a scary world we live in, the chemicals and genetic modifications have lasting effects that will have implications for generations yet we trod blindly along drinking the Monsanto koolaid.

Science says NOPE.

Oh! You think in law science wins?!?!?

LOL.  

Tell that to the people with cancer, or perhaps mention it to the soldiers who were poisoned by agent orange and died as a result.

As a scientist who is now a bureucrat with one foot in law and one foot reading science (arm chair), I find that law comes down to who can argue most persuasively and knowing your audience. If your judge or audience is a science simpleton.....
